A 27-year-old man was killed in a shooting while on his way to work this morning in the northern Arab town of Yafa an-Naseriyye, close to Nazareth, police and medics say.

Paramedics found the victim, identified as Nour al-Din Abdelqader, lying on the ground with severe injuries. They pronounced him dead at the scene.

Police are investigating the incident and have not yet arrested any suspects.

Since the start of 2025, 54 Arab Israelis have been killed in violent circumstances. Many community leaders blame law enforcement for the spiraling crime rate, accusing police of neglect as the majority of Arab sector murder cases go unsolved.
